Day 2 - The Sabbath


So after some much needed catch-up sleep, we were up and at up for a meeting setting up the stations for the camp and then set out to the streets of L'viv to pass out flyers for the camp. We stopped by playgrounds and parks as well as town squares.
After all the flyers were handed out, we grabbed some lunch, hung out and prepared for church. To describe the passion and the ambiance at the L'viv United Methodist Church was unreal. The Lord's presence was all over, just filtering through worship in song, the sermon and communion. The worship itself was intense and beautiful all at the same time.....to hear the mixture of language all worshiping one God exploded in the room. The sermon preached by Lyubomir discussed how the impossible was possible through God, love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself. Colossians 1: 12-28. The quotes that rang true: "If anything is possible than what is worth our efforts?" (thanks Emmie) and "To love your neighbor is to have unconditional love which is shown when competition is replaced with sacrificial behavior." So true and what a complimentary statement to enforce what is being said by the Word of God. We had church with several cultures, mixed in all shapes and sizes:



What a beautiful thing....and the after, an intense game of ping pong and dinner. What a great day. Please continue to pray for the Lord's work to perserve, that there is a fantastic attendance to the camp as well as that each child is impacted through this camp and that our energy level continues to increase. Thank you for all your love and support. Stay tuned....the camp starts tomorrow.
